So how's that work....folks can just pick and choose what laws they feel like complying with, then expect a free pass when they get caught? Seems to me we have enough problems in society with people not taking responsibility for their actions and blaming everyone else but themselves for their dumb-azz decisions.

I simply feel that we should have a shoot on site policy with predators right now until we get the populations back down to healthy levels and the invasive predators (wolves) be eliminated. I know it is not right, the law is the law. I nail people almost weekly on different charges that I may or may not agree with, the above is just how I feel about predators nothing more.

Don't understand all the "Hero worship" that is being heaped on these poachers. Does everyone really think they are only shooting wolves ?
They're not doing "Good deeds" for your admiration and praise.
They are doing lots to harm anyone and anything involved with shooting sports and hunters, in particular.

The Methow wolf pack has been shown to be genetically unrelated to any of the Yellowstone wolves; they are of western B.C. origin. While wolf sightings have occurred over many decades in northern Washington this was they first known pack in many decades to establish a den and territory in WA. The wolves north of Spokane are more closely related to the Yellowstone wolves although the genetics are now mixed with BC wolves. Thus, even without the Yellowstone introductions they were already headed this way.

We'll just close this one down for awhile so that the Moderators can enjoy their weekend and not have to keep coming in here to clean-up the language, personal attacks, suggestions of illegal activity, etc. Ifish Staff
